Answer:

contain a mutated tumor-suppressor gene.

Explanation:

  • A tumor suppressor gene performs the function of regulating the proper division of the cells as well as regulating replication.

The tumor suppressor genes perform the following functions :

  1. Maintain the stability of the genome.
  2. Regulate cell growth.
  3. Regulates cell proliferation rate.
  • Whenever the tumor suppressor genes get mutated it would either result in a loss of its function or a reduction in its function which can lead to the abnormal growth of cells.
  • Hence, if the DNA is damaged, the cells become crowded and the nutrients run low then this indicates that the tumor suppressor genes are mutated.

Then the nurse should introduce the needle connected to the catheter in the outstanding vein, following along the anatomy of the patient against the normal bloodstream direction, so the needle stays almost parallel to the vein while inserted. Finally the nurse must fix the needle to the arm using medical adhesive, and remove the tourniquet.
